Why is Joe surprised? O&A fans have ALWAYS disliked him.

31  2016-01-05 by wolfrhk

Over O&A's 20 year history, or more specifically the 10 year satellite run, Brother Joe would call in from time to time whenever a topic came up. However it was always a disguised attempt to plug a 2U gig.

Go back through any Youtube clip with Joe in it, he never really offered anything funny or interesting. It was always "Yea Anth, remember that time in that bar in Long Island?... So anyway 2U is playing in Sheboygan this weekend..."

Come on Joe admit it, you're not entertaining to listen to. Most people aren't, and that's OK. You're not TWINS, you're brothers. You don't need to do the same exact thing as your brother. It's like Anthony said on his podcast: you're good at guitar, he's good at talking. Just stick to playing guitar and be happy with it.

That's the funniest thing about this whole pathetic disaster. Nobody ever liked Joe. Nobody ever wanted Joe as part of the O&A crew. Nobody gave a shit about his lousy cover band. He held about as much value to the show as when one of Opie's puppy mill brothers called into the show to talk about nothing. He talks about Reddit like we are some fringe group who just recently popped up to shit on him, but we made up the core of the O&A audience who weren't mongrel truckers desperate for human contact.

Joe is exactly like Opie. He invents scenarios in his head as to why he is hated and creates convenient excuses to just label everyone as something that factually is not true. It's so much easier to label someone as a hater with an agenda rather than acknowledging that person as having legitimate reasons for hating you. This is not a war. We are not in a feud with Joe. We simply call him out on his faggotry and that's where it ends. And when something happens to someone far more interesting, we will go right back to forgetting that Joe ever existed.

Does Opie have a brother who runs a puppy mill? I fucking hate puppy mills.

I meant that Opie's lousy parents crapped out a litter of inbred children, like in a puppy mill.

Joe wrote the Oh Dara song

I laughed only one time that involved Brother Joe. He was on the phone with his usual boring shit, and Anthony finally did what Tits would do and said "Alright Joe, they're telling us you have to go".

Joe is a mooch and a complete moron. I can't believe he is starting his "show" again. Maybe he is trying to see if he can actually make it all the way down to zero listeners. That is about the only thing that he could actually succeed at.

Playing Sheboygan? Have they moved up a class?

The clips linked to always show them playing grade school lunchrooms

Sadly at this point he should be a much better guitar player. The last piece I heard from him was that chuggy, awful tone, weakly distorted, simple riff he wrote and recorded for Anthony's intro... Fucking terrible.

It's always hilarious when cover bands spend a long time getting the exact tone of the original songs, yet when they go to play anything original, have the worst sounding guitar tone. For some reason it always sounds like the built in distortion on a cheap practice amp being mic'ed in a bathroom.

When I started listening circa 2005 the first I heard of Brother Joe was in relation to domestic violence. I vaguely recall there was some story about how Joe had been busted years earlier, after his girlfriend hit herself in the face with an iron skillet and then called the cops and framed him.

I think Joe may have called in that day, but I'm not sure about that. I remember it because it sounded like such a ridiculous story. I figured if it wasn't a bit, and he really had been arrested, Joe made up the bruised face from an iron skillet scenario because it was something he'd seen watching cartoons.

but he isn't good at guitar, he's fair to middlin'

I hated him at "Anth"

First time ever hearing Joe on the show:

2006:

'So anyway, we need a guy that looks like Bono and sounds like Bono. We're doing auditions all week, so give me a call, (his phone number).

I thought you meant Joe Derosa. We really are a group of high school-esque hating cunts.

Joe literally appears in full tilt mode about once a year when this sub bashes Anthony. The rest of the year when this sub is bashing Opie he is not heard from.

The only time Brother Joe ever made me laugh was when he told the story about shitting himself on the Long Island Expressway.

I liked him better when he was just a faceless, anonymous, mumbling idiot promoting his musical guests on his brother's radio show.

I don't think he's surprised...he's just getting a lot more attention now than ever because people take twitter bait too easily.
